 |
|
| My girlfriend's (who is american) parents think that I'm a shady character because I "look middle-eastern" (i'm italian descent) I was first told of this when I met her parents for the first time because my girlfriend told me they asked some "interesting" questions about me. So I decided to have them over for a garden dinner party and I even served a $300 bottle of wine and gave them a brand new bottle of the same wine as an exit gift. I served in Iraq as a marine and lost my hand and yet I still heard them bad mouthing me when I was clearing up the table and they had some more stuff to say to my gf before leaving. I have never cheated on anyone, I don't play games, I have never hurt my girlfriends in any way. I don't yell at my gf. How do I change their perceptions? |

| Just keep being a great boyfriend they should come around. Sometimes people can't see past their perceptions to get past the face to meet the person. give it some time. |

| My advice would be to sit down and talk to her parents; regardless, if the girl likes you then it shouldn't matter what they think of you. But to get them on your side you have to make them like you. Do all you can to show them that you are not a shady character. Most importantly, ask your girlfriend what she thinks of you, because that's all that matters! Good Luck!!! |

| they sound lame. i would say be a great guy to your girlfriend, send them little notes in the mail around birthdays and holidays and let them warm up to you. i think the talk idea could make them nervous and might not go the way you like. i would save it for a little while longer after trying to break the ice in a more subtle way.oh yeah, i forgot to mention, anyone who would badmouth someone in their own home after being invited graciously to a party is really low class and horribly rude. you do not need to feel bad about yourself in any way. it is definitely their problem. |
